Youth Climate Action Group

The Frome Youth Climate Action Group is a new initiative supporting a team of 12–18-year-olds in Frome to lead climate action in their own way. This core group will design and deliver activities, campaigns, or events that engage other young people — building a movement of youth-led climate energy across the town.

This project is about action, not overwhelm. It gives young people space to shape change on their terms — to imagine, organise, and make things happen. Our aim is to:

  • Offer real-life opportunities to learn, collaborate and gain volunteer experience
  • Centre young voices and ideas in Frome’s climate conversation
  • Spark positive momentum and hope-led action
  • Enable peer-to-peer learning and engagement
  • Strengthen intergenerational connections and shared learning
  • Build on the energy already alive in Frome’s schools and youth groups
  • Create a structure that supports long-term youth participation

The benefits ripple out — not just for the environment, but for health, confidence, community connection and a sense of purpose.

Who is it for?

The project is for young people aged 12–18 who live in or around Frome — including those in school, home education, or youth organisations. Whether someone’s passionate about the climate, curious to try something new, interested in campaigning, creativity, growing, making, or helping others — they’re welcome.

This is also for educators and youth group leaders who want to support young people in developing their own climate responses and leadership.

How can I get involved?

Initially, we’re looking to form a core group of Youth Climate Action Allies. They’ll meet regularly outside school hours, decide together how to use a dedicated activity fund, and shape ways to bring other young people along. It could look like workshops, campaigns, creative projects, trips or climate meetups — it’s up to the group.

Young people don’t need experience — just an interest in climate action and a willingness to take part.
